Categories in OWA
In Outlook desktop I can use the Categories (colours and descriptions) and I can create "Smart Folders" that grouped messages for category. In OWA I can assign a category, I can manage the categorie...
uhm... the business version of Outlook for Mac had this feature, in OWA there's the possibility to assign a category and then?
Why in OWA I can assign categories?
What is their function?

MicrosoftYou can use search in OWA to find emails categorized with a certain category. For example you can search for this: category:="Yellow Category"
This worked for me, but without equal sign after colon. I typed the following into the O365 search
category:"New Project Ideas"
making sure the Category Name was an exact string match.
Yes, but OWA does not recognize the categories assigned in Outlook (desktop).
It is not possible to assign categories in OWA, categories in Outlook !!!!- Victor_UngureanuI can assign a category in Outlook and see it in OWA and vice versa. This should work for you also, but if it doesn't then you probably have a sync issue.
I have several messages with different categories in Outlook for Mac: I can't see them in OWA.
I have assigned a category to a message in OWA: I didn't see it in Outlook for Mac.
